Today, most advanced mobile phone cameras integrate multi-image technologies such as high dynamic range (HDR) imaging. The objective of HDR imaging is to overcome some of the limitations imposed by the sensor physics, which limit the performance of small camera sensors used in mobile phones compared to larger sensors used in digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras. In this context, it becomes more and more important to establish new image quality measurement protocols and test scenes that can differentiate the image quality performance of these devices. In this work, we describe image quality measurements for HDR scenes covering local contrast preservation, texture preservation, color consistency, and noise stability. By monitoring these four attributes in both the bright and dark parts of the image, over different dynamic ranges, we benchmarked four leading smartphone cameras using different technologies and contrasted the results with subjective evaluations.
